Keeping it at 480p is understandable. Are you still putting two versions (filtered and unfiltered) on one disc or have you given up on that idea? I just can't get over how massive the overkill involved in what you are doing is. If I were you, I would simply make a DVD (a DVD-9 if you are worried about quality). I could show you exactly how to do it, but I know you have your heart set on the BD idea, so...

If upscaling does become necessary, there is a thread on it here. The method that Antcufaalb outlines is basically the one I use, and I don't know of a better one.

I decided not to do a filtered version because I'm not the guy to be doing that kind of stuff. The longer I stare at my attempts at denoising the more I hate them lol.

I really want the highest quality possible is the reason I'm encoding at such a high bit rate. I realize that it's just a laserdisc but I want it to look just like the raw capture. The raw capture ends up being around 24gb when compressed to lagarith. The x264 or mpeg2 encode ends up being around 21-22 gb so it's basically like having a raw capture of the laserdisc that can be popped into the blu-ray player.

The x264 encode will be finished in about an hour so I'll mess with trying to put it into blu-ray format tonight and if it works I'll definitely go that route instead of mpeg-2.
